THEY WILL LIKELY ACCEPT.
Replies From the Creditors of Whitels
Fassier 4 Kelly Being Received Slowly

Reptile. From the Creditors Of whitley,
Fassier a Kelly Being Received Slowly.
One week ago the statement of the finan-
cial condition of Whiteley. Fassler X Kelly,
which had been prepared by committee
appointed by the creditors, was sent to the
creditors. and on Saturday, August 9th, the
report Of the committee was published in
the city papers. The committee recon-
mended that the creditors accept thirty per
cent. of their claims, payable in five in
stallments, withsut interest. A circular
letter was sent out with the report request
recommendations of the committee to fill
out a blank, which was also sent with the
report. and return it to General A. 5.
Bushnell, of this city.
Replies from creditors in various parts OF
the country are coming in slowly and the
belief now is that very large majority, if
not all. of them will accept the proposed
terms.
In that event the works will be opened
about the middle of September and Oper-
ated by Mr.. William n. Whiteley as before.
Concerning the matter, General A. 5.
BUSHNELL. WnO IS Ill = poSitioh W hHoW.
said:
We are beginning to hear from the cred
itors who live out of town. We have, in
the past few days heard from creditors in
Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
The mai. rity of those heard from are in
favor of settling at 30 per cent. as recon-
mended by the committee. A number Of
the creditors seem TO want some time to
consider the proposition. There will be no
meeting OF creditors, and each creditor
will answer for himself by mail think
that a settlement will be effected at the
terms proposed by the committee.
Mr.. Walter Potter. one of the committee
who signed the so per cent. report, is one
of the largest creditors. He is Boston
banker. and after investigating the affairs
of the firm with the rest of the committee
he declared in favor of 30 per cent. set
tiement. He has had large experience in
affairs of this kind and is one OF the prin-
cipal out-Of-tOwn creditors. l believe that
the Springfield creditors Of Whiteley. Fass-
Ter X Kelly have almost without exception
declared that they will settle at 80 per cent.
Altogether, will say that the prospects
for settlement at those terms seem to be eX-
cellent. In case this settlement is made
the works will be operated as usual this
fall"

Mr.. Georges land theories were car

the value of land owned as private
property in the United States was
about $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO. This sum,
ac four per cent, would bring in an
income of $4cO, OOO,O 900, which would
give each man about eight dollars g.

The official figures sent by the tax
commissioners of New York TO the
Board of Aldermen, set forth that in
three New York wards the increase in
the value of real estate last year
amounted to forty million dollars.
Inasmuch as the value of land de-
ponds upon the number of people who
want to use it, much Of this enormous
increase must be Offset by the depreci-
alton of land values somewhere else
The people who moved to New York
in such numbers as to send up the
price of land, came from other parts
of the country, and in the places that
they left land must be cheaper. The
depreciation of farming lands all
through the East is circumstance
that it is interesting to consider in
connection with New York's increase
in wealth.

The conduct of the people. In and
out OF Paris, in celebrating their ma

after the sensational reports that had
been sent out regarding the "sullen"
and dangerous attitude of the popu-
lace toward the government. The
review of troops was witnessed by an
enormous multitude who maintained
the best of order. 1t is worthy OF
note that the only attempt to stir up
a demonstration against the govern
ment-that undertaken by Rochefort
and others at the review-was sup
pressed, not by the police but by the
people who heartily cheered the Presi
dent and the republic instead of Gen.

FOUR LIVES IHROVN AWAY.
A Bloody Family Row at Oil City Results

In a Slaughter
On CITY, Pa, July 20.-Shortly before
12o'clock last night, John McNierney, a.
laborer. beat his wife to death. fatally
shot his son, Jonn, aged 81 years, for
interfering in behalf of his mother and
then shot Officer James, who
tried TO arrest him. in the groin, in
ficting fatal wound. Officers Warden
and Henderson then came to the assist
ance of James, and soon brought the
desperate man down with a shot through
his back. After disarming him
the officers entered the house
when a sickening sight met
their gaze. Mrs. McNierney was
found in one corner of the room dead,
her head and face completely smashed
to jelly, the room despatched with
blood and brains, supposed to have been
inflicted with shotgun stock. Physi-
clans were speedily upon the spot, and
upon examination of Officer James and
young McNierneys wounds pronounced
them fatal. The wound of MeNierney
is not necessarily fatal. There was no
witness to the affair except the son, who
is unable to speak. McNierney was in
toxicated at the time and was probably
abusing his wife when the son went TO
her assistance

often been shown up, especially by

tea has now another vice to answer
for. Tea chewing is becoming alarm
ingly prevalent, notably among fac
tory operatives. Some girls chew as
much as half a pound day. The re-

effects of excessive alcoholism. Be.
